Entering reinforcement by specifying points

The following example shows how to enter a rectangular stirrup with Bar Shape by specifying points. The Expand to adapt to edges option is not selected in the input options. If there is an associative view and/or associative section of the 3D components, automatic depth placement is possible.

The other bending shapes are entered in the same way. For more information please consult the help for Allplan.

A detailed example is provided in the manual.


For example: entering a stirrup by specifying points
Requirement: Method 1: 3D general arrangement drawing with views and sections Method 2: 2D general arrangement drawing Method 3: 2D general arrangement drawing
1	Method 1: 3D model on Method 2: 3D model on Method 3: 3D model off	Reinforce with 3D model option is active or not ( Options, Reinforcement page)
2	Click tool	Bar Shape
3	Select Stirrup, closed in the list box at the top in the Bar Shape palette
4	Set the reinforcing bar parameters and specify the position of the bending shape
5	Deactivate Expand to adapt to edges in the input options
6	Click points in the cross-section 1st and 2nd point --> ESC --> 3rd point	3rd point = position of overlap
6a	Only with method 2: Select view Old / New Select spatial orientation
7	Press ESC when labeling was active when you entered the bending shape or select Label on the shortcut menu, set the parameters and place the label in the workspace
Result:

After this, Allplan immediately switches to the Place Bar Shape tool. However, you can also cancel and activate this tool later.
